When I Paint My Masterpiece |
| Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble |
| Ancient footprints are everywhere |
| You can almost think that you’re seein' double |
| On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs |
| Got to hurry on back to my hotel room |
| Where I’ve got me a date with Botticelli’s niece |
| She promised that she’d be right there with me |
| When I paint my masterpiece |
| Oh, the hours I’ve spent inside the Coliseum |
| Dodging lions and wastin' time |
| Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em |
| Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb |
| Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory |
| When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese |
| Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody |
| When I paint my masterpiece |
| Sailin' round the world in a dirty gondola |
| Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola! |
| I left Rome and landed in Brussels |
| On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried |
| Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles |
| Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside |
| Newspapermen eating candy |
| Had to be held down by big police |
| Someday, everything is gonna be diff’rent |
| When I paint my masterpiece |
